Hello ladies. I have something new going on and before i let my anxiety run amuck thought I would ask if anyone has experienced this. The feeling is basically like something is stuck in one side of throat but I know there isnt. I can feel it like a semi sharp object when I swallow also minor ear discomfort. Has anyone experienced this? I also feel like I have to clear my throat. Help!!

OMG! Yes, me too, it's been really bad for the past couple of weeks. I have post nasal drip and might have silent reflux and it's tough to know what might be causing the weird throat sensation BUT I had one area of my throat feel like a stinging sensation or a sharp kind of feeling when I'd swallow and it would come and go, it was not constant. That specific pain finally went away but I still feel like I have a lump in my throat or my throat is a bit tight. I'm wondering if it is throat burn from silent reflux? My ears will be painful on and off as well. I'm so anxious its ridiculous! I have constant throat clearing too and for the past week or so i've been coughing a bit or feeling like i need to clear something from my upper airways. I've been using my husbands inhalor to help loosen what is there. Is it my post nasal drip causing this or something else? I broke down and took a xanax the other day and the feeling went away. SO, is it stress related? I know anxiety can make reflux worse so it it just my anxiety causing it? I've been so worried I might have covid but we don't go out and I'm not sure how I would have caught it. But anything is possible. So between that worry and the "not knowing" my anxiety is through the roof which I know makes everything worse. And the worst is that I have no more xanax 😦 Not sure when you posted this but has the feeling gone away?

Hey love Thanks for the reply. The pain has gone away but i as well have post nasal drip and still feel as if there is a lump here and there I also believe i have acid reflux as well. And you are so spot on by saying it feels like you have A cough and clearing throat in upper airway!! Thats exactly it for me as well. And ive come to conclusion its probably acid reflux the post nasal and anxiety as well. Im going to make an appt with GI doc and just watch what i eat to see if it helps. Not that Im happy your going through this as well but glad I am not alone!

Right! it always helps to know someone else is feeling these things 😃 I bought the book Acid Watchers Diet and will try that. Have been avoiding coffee and tomatoes and other things. I've been drinking Aloe Vera Juice to coat and protect my throat a few times a day and that seems to have helped with any pain. Right now I'm obsessing about the throat clearing and trying to clear upper airways. I'm always fine at night a few hours after dinner and during the night while sleeping it doesn't bother me, it just starts once I get up and my mind starts getting anxious and it just gets progressively worse. Please let me know what your GI doc says ok? Hang in there! Hopefully this is all just peri related and nothing serious is going on 😃

I've had the burning mouth pain. It was bad on/off for the past 2 years but has not bothered me much over past 6 months or so. Something that usually helped was brushing my teeth and tongue and rinsing really well afterwards. Sounds simple but seemed to help most of the time. I have a weird pain in my sternum now that is all of a sudden bothering me. Not sure if I've aggravated something with all the throat clearing and coughing or something more serious. Ugh! I hate this too 😦 Oh and also try b12 vitamin for burning mouth.

Hey yea Im pretty sure the sternum pain is from coughing..Ugh all this diffrent stuff sucks. Hopefully it gets better soon. Try soaking in hot epsome salt bath it relaxes the muscles and smells nice.

Thanks for the suggestion! I actually JUST bought some epsom salts. i will definitely try that. The sternum pain is gone but still have slightest pressure in my chest which is driving me crazy.
